i CULINARY SCRAPER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 24, 1907.

Application filed April 9, 1906. Serial No. 310,657.

T o all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, GEORGE M. HOGMIRE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Joliet, in the county of lll/Till and State of Illinois,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Culinary Scrapers,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in culinary scrapers, and is auseful and novel device for cleaning and removing incrustations fromkitchen utensils, and the object of my invention is to supply the tradewith a cheap, convenient and durable article for the purpose abovenamed. I attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in theaccompanying drawing, in whichd Figure l is a bottom plan view of mydevice, Fig. 2 is an end view thereof, and Fig. 3 is a side view.

'l he device is composed of a fiat sheet of metal doubled over near itscenter, the two halves connected together and thus forming the handle B,the parts not being folded sharply, but to form a free rounded loop atthe gripping portion of the handle, makes possible the formation of ascraping hook or scoop C by cutting away or notching out the edges ofsaid strip at one side of said loop, one end of the gripping portion ofthe handle forming the nose of the hook or scoop. 'i he end portions Aof the strip are bent out at right angles to handle B in oppositedirections. One end of the said sheet is rounded and the other end issquare and edge notched similar to teeth of a saw. Scraping projectionsare formed on the fiat surfaces of the end portions A on the sideopposite the handle B. vl/'here there are hard incrustations, such aslime deposits, the teeth can be used to loosen the same, and then thescraping projections; the rounded end is for especial use in the curvesin the bottoms of kitchen utensils, and the hook C for joints and anglesin the same.

l/Vhat I claim as my invention, is-

l. A culinary scraper, composed of a fiat strip of sheet metal doubledover near its center and the two halves connected together to form ahandle, the end portions of said strip being bent out at right angles tosaid handle in opposite directions, and scraping projections formed onthe faces of said end portions opposite the handle.

2. A culinary scraper, composed of a flat strip of sheet metal doubledover near its center and the two halves rigidly united near said pointof folding to form a handle portion, a free rounded loop being formed atthe point of folding, the end portions of said strip being bent out atan angle to said handle portion to form scraping blades, and the edgesof the strip at one side of said loop being out out to form a scrapinghook, all as described and set forth. Y

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE M. HOGMIRE.
